" I am here to take her back" Hers still had that mischievous smile on his face as if he was defying the whole world, however, there wasn't a sliver of care for his half-dead subordinates who just suffered while trying to protect his honour.
"Not a chance, Ophelia would never have forsaken you if you did not abandon her first, therefore, you can just leave knowing it's your own fault" although Yunan seriously wanted to cast Hers and his lackeys out of the house, he still had enough respect for soone who has ascended from being a re mortal. Ophelia was silently hiding beside Yunan with a shadow of a smile on her lips, she felt safe beside this man and it made her happy.
Hers kept his eyes on Ophelia with his smile still making both her and Yunan feel like they were trapped in sothing they could not comprehend. "Would you forsake because I don't involve myself in the affairs of mortals, even if you pray to , am I obliged to manage my children like they were chess pieces, at least let know why you chose a mortal over , the god you willingly swore yourself to".
"Because this mortal dared offend a god for a woman he does not expect anything from, while my god ignored my prayers to reign in his followers simply because it's boring to do that while expecting my unwavering devotion" there was disappointnt in Ophelia's voice, she did not rage or hate, she just felt she had made the wrong commitnt to the wrong person.
"It would have been fun to see how he can deal with my worshipers, however you could not hold on for a few days to let enjoy the scene of a single man burning my temples and killing my devout followers for your sake" Hers did not deny his way of thinking he even unveiled his expectations for the face-off between Yunan and the priests. "Thanks to you being unable to handle so ntal torture, I had to make do with this little uneventful clash that was over within a blink of an eye, that is why I ca here, I ca for my compensation, you are mine and that is the consequence of taking away my anticipated fun".
Yunan could not help but smile when he heard the requirents of Hers, if the value of Ophelia, was so amusent then that can be arranged for easily "if all you seek is amusent how about you watch clear 4 bosses in 4 weeks, I'll even let you watch my every mont during that ti, the suspense should be enough to pay for what Ophelia owes you and pay for an apology to her, does that sound good?".
A light flashed in the scheming eyes of Hers "which floors? And what kind of bosses are they?". "From the 36th through the 39th, I have not been in those floors so I have no idea about what is in there, Hephaestus can confirm, as for the power level I am sure the 39th boss is at least 1500 attribute points ahead of so there will be so suspense in trying to clear each boss within one week".
" Fine, but you will not use any spells and have to rely on your own skills, and Hephaestus himself will be the judge, of course, I reserve the right to watch and broadcast your ti in the dungeon to my own discretion". Hers was getting interested and that was his fatal mistake. " And in case I win, I will gain all the bets made against , if you're interested then it's a deal". "Deal". said Hers with haste, he was afraid that Yunan would change his mind.
"It's a deal then, we start next week, I have been working hard and I need a few days to relax, and you can promote our little deal better in the ti of 5 days, now take your lackeys and leave this place, I need to rest, and don't even think about staying for a al or a drink, I do not want you in my house". Hers made a pout but still could not contain his excitent as he teleported his half-dead subordinates and disappeared from the guest room.
Yunan sat down and called Sapphira to sit on his lap as he conversed with Hephaestus about this and that. "You cheated him," said Hephaestus after a while, "he is an old man with the personality of a bored toddler, besides that, he really wanted to see do sothing he considers impossible, I hope the gods and not all like him". Hephaestus smiled at Yunan " I also wish to see how will you clear the next floors without spells, it would be fascinating". Yunan smiled and said nothing, his win would be based on a technicality, sothing that even the gods could not refute.
After Hephaestus left, Yunan took Ophelia to the bath for a relaxing soak and a round of therapeutic massage to help her relax and loosen up a bit of the stress she had been exposed to lately, he knew very well that the source of her pain was none other than himself, and she chose him over her own beliefs, therefore he decided to pamper her as much as he could and bring back her radiant smile once again.
Ophelia was much more relaxed now that Hers was going to leave them alone, as for his followers, they just had the shock of a lifeti and would not consider attacking anyti soon, as for why she thought Hers was leaving them alone was because she had confidence in Yunan, at least he would make the bet as exciting as possible. That was the core of the trick Yunan played on Hers, he would let go of Ophelia's debt if the bet was exciting enough, even of Yunan did not win Hers only had to enjoy watching Yunan for the bet to be fulfilled as for the fact that he would gain so much from winning and there was nothing to lose, that one must have been Hers's reward for Yunan because he could trick him into such a situation.
